Anyone else's fiancee partially moved into your place while you wait on USCIS? I have most of her clothes, make-up, candles, furniture we bought together etc, as constant reminders of her. For me, it's bittersweet, knowing her home is here, but then the reminders can be tough during the wait. I have left some things as they were we she last touched them, tricking my brain into thinking she just left yesterday.

I left a few things at my fiance's. He sleeps with my pillow every night and because of the plane liquid rule I bought some perfume while down there to leave there since I could not bring mine with me. Also toothpaste since that also is a no no on the plane and I only travel with a carry-on. Damn rules. lol I am going down to visit him in a few weeks and I am not bringing stuff with me but will buy some clothes while down there because I need some new stuff. He is grudgingly giving me half the walk in closet. LOL He has way more clothes than I own.

I have already taken over half my fiance's closet, and then I have some large Rubbermaid bins filled with clothes in a spare room.  He is living with his parents right now to save money, so we will be shopping for all our apartment stuff once I am there permanently.  I feel at this point he is having harder than me, bc I am used to not having him here in my daily life.  I still miss him a ton though and can't wait to be there.

We've literally spent thousands furnishing our place together. She was able to convince border control to let her in on ETSA for 6 months (two 3 month trips) in a year span. Most of her life and things are here now. She just sits in an empty flat in UK, waiting.

It's really tough to get started and then have to put it all on hold. Hang in there.

We go our small płace when I was visiting last time, it was already furnished, we only had to buy mattress. I left Almost all of my summer clothes, we bought together all dishes, bed sheets, towels, even a dog lol  so Yes I feel like my Home is there and all I will have with me is one 50lbs suitcase. I even left my laptop, purses, make up, and my favourite pillow  im ready to go

I am moving into my Fiance's apartment and he already has many furnishings although we did buy bedroom furnishings last time I was down there so that it was ours. He had a single bed. *giggles* He figured he did not need anything bigger since he was done with relationships after his failed marriage and then I came along. *laughs* We have talked about upgrading the futon in the living room to a real couch after I move and maybe seeing if a 2 bedroom is open in the complex our apartment is in so that we have a spare room for my family when they come to visit or his kids if they come from Cali to visit.

Yes. A few piles of clothes already. 😄 nail varnishes, toiletries, bits and bobs like that. Every time I went I left something there. 😊

Awww thats fantastic.  And a furkid is always a nice addition. I already have a cat named Pixie who is going to be 12 next month. She is only friendly with me and tolerates my Mum because I have lived alone for so long. lol Although when my fiance was here last she came and snuggled with him and had a nap with him so I think she approves. LMAO

Sth to warm up our hearts for a minute  maybe moderators wont kill me for that

 

our Baby- Peanut, I got him for Christmas from my Fiance and his family, but he is as much mine as his as he stayed in US while I'm gone. He was a little sick lately and spend over a week in a hospital, but now he is fully recovered and feeling good and happy and he is just the sweatest

I know! I am wondering if maybe the tracker is now fixed? 100+ cases worked on in a day seems like a "normal" number to me.

I still think the numbers are off.

 

If you watch Igors list, it reports that of all February filers on VJ nearly 25% have received NOA2.  If that is true we are not seeing enough Approved cases with the scans.

The numbers are def off. It's why I don't waste time scanning for now because it seems to cause more confusion than good. I hope they get it "fixed" soon.

With it being nearing the end of may shouldn't more than 25% of the cases be approved?

yeah it most probably still is. and even if it gets fixed now, the scan results will always be off because unless the we have a way of knowing the case numbers of all those people who were approved during this tracker blackhole, those cases will remain received in the scan forever and ever and ever (lol).
